PHOENIX - Former Saginaw Spirit Paul Bissonnette has made a name for himself on Twitter.

Bissonnette, a left wing for the Phoenix Coyotes, has become the most popular Twitter personality in the NHL, with more than 100,000 followers.

On the even of Twitter's fifth anniversary, Sports Illustrated compiled a list of the 100 Most Influential Twitter Handles in Sports.

Bissonnette, known as BizNasty2point0 to his followers, played for the Spirit for more than two seasons. He scored 23 points in 2002-03, 19 in 2003-04 and seven in 2004-05 before he was traded to Owen Sound.

sportingnews.com: “Hockey is in desperate need of personality,” Bissonnette said. “Every superstar has no personality. I know why –- everything they do, they’re just going to blow it up.”

So, he offers his perspective. Not one of a superstar, but someone thrust into a superstar lifestyle.

“That’s what people don’t understand. I’m a regular guy who made it,” he said. “People chirp me a lot, saying ‘You’re going to be out of the NHL.’ Maybe so. Maybe I’ll be playing in the American League for 100K. It’s life. You have to enjoy it.”
